ISO CD Image

I downloaded the ISO CD image and was surprised to find that it wasn’t
bootable! I had to make a floppy and boot from that. While that is a
good ‘backup’ means, the CD should be bootable!

I made a bootable ISO image based on the floppy using the process I
found at http://www.nu2.nu/bootcd and would be happy to offer that CD
image to QNX to post. Since that would probably not be security-wise, I
would ask that you make your own ISO image bootable the same way I did
with the method outlied on that web site. Uses all GNU tools, should be
possible to make bootable under QNX as well :sunglasses:

Related question: Is it possible to install the QNX stuff onto a
Disk-On-Chip? I know it wants to install the “whole” environment
(600M!) but I was trying to (basically) put the demo disk onto my 16M
DOC. I’m trying to make a ethernet web browsing appliance from an old
486 with a 16M DOC…

It is bootable, already.

How did you burn it.

The demo disk and QRTP are two different operating system (QNX4 versus
Neutrino),
it is very possible to put Neutrino and Photon (OS+gui) in a 16Meg DOC
(8Meg)
would probably be enough.

However Neutrino DOC driver is still beta (made by M-System)
